Front of house communications

Reach crew members who don't have an email address

Employee engagement hub
Employee messaging

More than half your workforce might not have a company email, a desk, or five extra minutes to dig through an intranet. Workshop gives you a branded employee engagement hub with one URL that never changes. Post today’s safety bulletin, this week’s schedule, or the new PTO policy there, and it’s always the same link, so no one has to hunt for the latest version.

Share that link the way frontline teams actually communicate: by text. Two-way SMS means employees can text a question back and get a real answer, not just receive a broadcast they can’t respond to. No app to download, no login to remember, just a phone number and a link.

Onboarding

Turn a scattered first week into a guided one

Automation
Cici, AI Agent
Personalization

New hires get five logins, a stack of paperwork, and a manager who’s slammed with their own work. A New Hire Journey turns that into an automated sequence that arrives exactly when someone needs it, personalized by role, location, and start date, pulled straight from your HRIS. Cici drafts the first version, so you’re never starting from a blank page.

Because it’s automated, it scales without extra work from your team. Whether you’re onboarding one person or fifty this month, everyone gets the same thoughtful sequence, on time, every time.

Rapid alerts

Get urgent news out fast, even to people without a company inbox

Two-way SMS

When something urgent happens, waiting for people to check email isn’t good enough. SMS reaches frontline and deskless employees the moment it matters, no login required. Blackout dates automatically pause routine sends, so the urgent message isn’t buried under a scheduled newsletter.

Real-time analytics confirm who’s seen it within minutes, not days, so your team knows exactly where to follow up.

Employee Engagement Hub

Give staff a place to find updates or protocol changes without hunting through email

SMS
Email

Instead of scattered links across old emails or messages, your team leans on one employee hub for every training, food safety update, or menu change. The link stays current so your crew members can bookmark it on their phone or computer for easy access later. With Workshop, nobody’s hunting through their inbox for “that link from three weeks ago.”

“There are many features I love about Workshop, but the biggest highlight is clear: it allows us to create emails that truly represent and personify our brand and culture.”

— Amy D., Internal Communications Manager, Potbelly Sandwich Works
